Right so I got a few more questions on problems with some scripts that I've not been able to solve so far. I do apologize in advance too for the multiple problems in a single post; they've been building up as I move from one problem and work on another while researching for a solution to the others. These are ones I've yet to be able to solve in the last few days.
I'm working on a 'gas chamber' sort of trap using lightning bold/shock spells. The problem is it's telling me that it cannot find the object for the spell. From my research here on the forums; you should be able to simply spawn the default spells without having to define them in the script. I guess this is either no longer true or I've missed something in my reading. Where have I gone wrong?
function gaschamber()
for i = -1, 1 do
for j = -2, 2 do
if chamberlever:getLeverState() == "activated" then
spawn("lightning bolt", 1, 19 + i, 15 + i, 0)
else
spawn("shock", 1, 19 + j, 15 + j, 0)
end
end
end
end
Another problem I'm facing is if I want a special pit trap to kill only monsters that pass over it when it's open. I have it working for the previous trap that everyone helped me with but for some reason the copied version isn't working. - note the script isn't producing any errors; the monsters I've tested simply fail to die when stepping onto the triggering tile. I also did test and party damage is working fine; it's just not working for monsters.
local pit
for x in entitiesAt(caller.level, caller.x, caller.y) do
if x.name == "dm_floor_pit" or x.name == "dungeon_pit" then
pit = x
end
end
if pit:isOpen() then
if entity.class == "monster" then
damageTile(caller.level, caller.x, caller.y, 0, 6, "poison", 9001)
end
end
end
The last one is a bit tricky. I've setup an Alcove that will only accept certain items. Followed by a script that will check if the items are there then open a door. What I want is to be able to have the script check to make sure the right item is in the right alcove. This way instead of having 3 different alcoves defined as seen below. I can have 1 with multiple different items allowed in it; but I'm scratching my head as to how to do so.
defineObject{
name = "lightning_hook_alcove",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(0, 1.50, -0.1),
targetPos = vec(0, 1.50, -0.1),
targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.5, 0.6),
placement = "wall",
replacesWall = false,
editorIcon = 92,
model = "assets/models/env/metal_hooks_wall.fbx",
onInsertItem = function(self, item)
local allowed = {"lightning_blade", "lightning_blade_empty"}
for i = 1, #allowed do
if item.name == allowed then
return item.name == allowed and self:getItemCount() == 0
end
end
end
}
defineObject{
name = "fire_hook_alcove",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(0, 1.50, -0.1),
targetPos = vec(0, 1.50, -0.1),
targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.5, 0.6),
placement = "wall",
replacesWall = false,
editorIcon = 92,
model = "assets/models/env/metal_hooks_wall.fbx",
onInsertItem = function(self, item)
local allowed = {"fire_blade", "fire_blade_empty"}
for i = 1, #allowed do
if item.name == allowed then
return item.name == allowed and self:getItemCount() == 0
end
end
end
}
defineObject{
name = "nex_hook_alcove",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(0, 1.50, -0.1),
targetPos = vec(0, 1.50, -0.1),
targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.5, 0.6),
placement = "wall",
replacesWall = false,
editorIcon = 92,
model = "assets/models/env/metal_hooks_wall.fbx",
onInsertItem = function(self, item)
local allowed = {"nex_sword"}
for i = 1, #allowed do
if item.name == allowed then
return item.name == allowed and self:getItemCount() == 0
end
end
end
}
Here's the script thus far:
function doorcombo()
local wardenapt = "dm_door_black_1"
wephld = {{"lightning_hook_alcove_1", 1},
{"fire_hook_alcove_1", 1},
{"fire_hook_alcove_2", 1}}
for i = 1, #wephld do
findEntity(wardenapt):close()
if findEntity(wephld[1]):getItemCount() == wephld[2] then
findEntity(wardenapt):open()
else
return nil
end
end
end
]
